- DRdwight rutledgeOct 1, 20255.0Best and easiest and quickest place to get your hair cut. The ladies do a great job . Prices are fair . I hate giving this review because they may get busier and I’ll have to wait in line next time. The on line check in is awesome! Love it
- JLJennifer LittleSep 18, 20251.0We went in and were greeted by the lady that works the first chair to the right. She was super sweet. There were three ladies cutting hair in there. One to the right and two to the left. The lady in the second chair to the left is the lady that cut my son’s hair. She was so rude. He’s TWO. Of course he’s going to move around. Of course he isn’t going to be as still as a grown man but that is no reason to yell about him not being still. “Oh my god, I almost cut my finger. BE STILL!!” As she was cutting the front of his hair and it was falling all over his face. Breathing deep and sighing loudly as if she didn’t want to be cutting hair at all. After I brought him home and examined his haircut a little better, I found gaps and lines all throughout his hair! Now, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, she may have been having a bad day. People are allowed that, but whatever day she was having doesn’t need to be taken out on my son. I will never step foot in this place again.
- MLMike LeighAug 6, 20215.0Always am satisfied with the haircut. The people working there are good at their job, and have great attitudes. I always use online check and it makes it way easier.
